“Think Like a Man” is First Entirely LED-Lit Film (Video)

October 19th, 2012 by Chelsea

Movie sets are notorious energy hogs, from heating and cooling systems, to round-the-clock generator usage, to lighting. Notably, Sony’s romantic comedy Think Like a Man, directed by Tim Story, is the first film entirely lit LED style.

What’s the big deal about using LEDs on a movie set (or anywhere for that matter)? These energy-efficient lights last about 200 times longer than incandescent bulbs, emit less heat, and use about 75% less energy — a huge savings over months of filming.

I went to a broadcaster symposium recently, and LEDs were all over, from studio lighting right to tower lights. Awesome!
